Breakthrough Prototype Paves Way For Compact Quantum Systems
Infleqtion, in collaboration with Honeywell Aerospace and UC Santa Barbara, has developed a new integrated optical cavity that helps shrink quantum sensors down to handheld size. The prototype, fabricated on a silicon nitride chip, reduces the space needed for laser stabilization in quantum systems and can be produced at scale in commercial facilities. This development may pave the way for accelerated deployment in precision navigation, atomic timing, and other applications. The collaboration was facilitated by UC Santa Barbara’s Office of Technology & Industry Alliances, as reported by Business Wire.
